Syndication city
by Scott Rosenberg

I'm a late addition to a panel at the Supernova conference this Thursday, June 24: I'll be joining some very interesting people (Technorati's David Sifry; blogger, XML leader and now Sun engineer Tim Bray; and Paul Boutin of Wired and Slate). We're talking about syndication and RSS. The question the panel faces: "Is there more to syndication than reading 300 blogs at once?" What interesting, useful applications for RSS and RSS-like tools are out there or just around the corner?

I've got my own answer(s), but in the decentralized spirit of the conference, I'll open the floor here in comments, and present anything you folks suggest, too.

[Scott Rosenberg]

I have five questions/answers for Scott - I hope he picks me.....

1. How will the evolution of new kinds of micro-content, like Reviews, Events and music playlists - effect the existing blogosphere? A: it will enhance it, making it not onyl richer and deeper, but also make it more relevant to average people - who don't want or feel the need to blog, but who have opinions on movies, books and reataurants.

2. How will FOAF interconnect entire social networks, on-line communities and blogging tool userbases together? A: by enabling digital IDs that encompass multiple presences, end-users will be able to move freely from system to system without having to recreate their strong ties every time.

3. Finally - Salon was one of the first content sites to offer it's readership Blogs. Now that the AlwaysOn Network is also offering social networking - will Salon also offer social networking? I say - yes.

Mark Frauenfelder: Chris Null has written a great article about the early history of portable PCs for Mobile PC magazine.

Inspired by the IBM 5100 and Xerox's Notetaker -- a 48-pound machine with a keyboard that folded over the display -- Osborne's eponymous computer was cobbled together from the cheapest parts he could find. The Osborne 1 hit the market at $1,795, with dual floppy drives and a 5-inch CRT. Flip the keyboard over the front, latch it on, and your 24.5-pound computer was ready to go wherever you needed it. Osborne had amazing success with the product, but it was fatally crushed by the birth of Compaq in 1983, which copied the Osborne carefully while adding one killer feature: IBM compatibility.

UPDATE: Stefan says: "I actually worked on an Osborne in the early '80s. The college SF club had one. We used it to lay out the schedule and generate individually numbered tickets for our SF convention. I recall using the included BASIC to create a program that would generate a Superbowl betting grid.

"One of the big selling points for the Osborne was the software. The company pioneered the concept of bundling. In addition to the CP/M operating system, you got WordStar, a spreadsheet, a flat-file database program and so on. It even had a nice app for reading and writing PC-format disks.

"The computer itself was, frankly, a piece of shit. The monitor was 52 columns wide; when your typing reached the end of a line the display shifted left. It was terribly susceptible to static shock. You learned to save your work every few minutes in dry weather, because resets and lockups were a regular occurrence."

water birth

water birth 12/22/2003 03:04 PM
Water birth is an alternative to standard hospital labor where the woman gives birth in a pool of water. Many hospitals/birth centers now offer the option of a water birth, or the mother-to-be can choose from a wide variety of birthing pools for labor at home, usually assisted by a midwife/nurse with experience in waterbirth. There are many benefits of a gentle introduction to the world by being born in water, and the testimonials make it sound like a great option. Note: some links may be NSFW. [more inside]

The birth of a [sign] language

The birth of a [sign] language 09/18/2004 06:57 PM
Experts Study New Sign Language System A new system of sign language developed by deaf children in Nicaragua may hold clues about the evolution of languages. When the country's first school for the deaf was established in 1977, children were not taught sign language but developed a system of signs to communicate. Childhood learning may determine linguistic rules ...They found that older students used hand signals resembling the gestures employed by hearing people, mimicking the entire event physically. But younger pupils - who had interacted with other deaf children from an early age - used a more complex series of signs. They split the scene into component parts and arranged these sequentially to convey the incident. The constructions resemble the way words and sentences are built in verbal languages, using segments structured in a linear fashion. This indicates that way the younger children learnt the sign language helped reshape it according to these linguistic rules.
